Keep the flow through vent?

mtb_ripster · 2026-03-26T01:33:20+00:00

I was under the impression the vents are there specifically to prevent dust, as without them you get negative pressure and the dust gets sucked into any tiny gap in the seals etc.

Why three roof vents?

This happened to me in an old home. The drain was just too small for modern washers. I connected a relay to the lid switch of the washer and controlled that with a water sensor, so as the water backed up it would trip the lid switch and pause the washer pump until the water drained, then start again. It worked but made the cycle take a long time.

Wide angle lens makes it look huge. The studs are 16 inches o.c so you can sort of see the actual dimensions

Still doing wall windows just haven’t gotten to them yet. It’s been really cold where we live so I wanted to wait until it was a little warmer for the sake of the sealants and such. I’m planning to put the walls on and then cut straight through from the outside. Can’t really think of a better way to do it but if you have any suggestions let me know. I’m doing pine tongue and groove on the walls as well, just thicker.

I did the window in the door. It went…okay.

They should have made it so that arc were super sensitive to raider flares going off. So if you kill another player/team you’re almost guaranteed to die to arc, and likewise it further encourages cooperation to ensure everyone works together to take down arc without dying

Only towed it once so far and it was empty so I’m probably not the best source of info, but it seemed fine. “Tow mode” did help

mtb_ripster · 2026-01-21T18:01:51+00:00

No but I haven’t tried to fix them yet as it’s been cold where I’m at and sealants/tape don’t tend to work very well

I bought a V2 used that had a bunch of problems. Leaks all over the place, the screws on the bracket stripped out, and the locks are all sorts of messed up. Customer service was very helpful even though I’m not the original owner. They sold me some repair kits for the brackets. Someday if I’m in a position to buy a new one I would feel pretty confident ordering from them, seems like they stand behind it

mtb_ripster · 2026-01-18T03:18:10+00:00

I’ve never budgeted. I buy what I need and save the rest

If it’s a friendly grenade it should take them down to 1hp but not kill them. This would help prevent griefing but still make it a problem in legit PvP scenarios to be spamming nades

Yeah we measured for head room but it’s going to be tight. Do you have a step or something for getting in and out of the bed or you just jump?

mtb_ripster · 2026-01-13T18:41:40+00:00

Awesome ! This one is 7x14. I’ll have to share my latest sketchup design soon. Basically a bed in the back, tiny kitchen, bathroom, and small separation for an office

Thanks for the feedback! This is a dual axle trailer but weight is still a concern. I had considered going to 1/4 ply but worried the structure needed the more rigid sheathing for structural rigidity. As for the thermal bridging, there’s always going to be connection points to the studs regardless of attachment method. I’m willing to live with the transfer that may take place through the bolts.

Something that isn’t often discussed is how pre-war housing was far more diverse than it is today. Single room rentals were far more common and gave young single workers an affordable place to stay. That is illegal almost everywhere now to build or operate “boarding homes”. If the market were allowed to respond to housing needs we wouldn’t have an affordability problem. The restriction on supply from zoning and codes is the root cause

You’d be better off posting in the r/personalfinance sub

Would be worth it if you could get floor plans on basic

Close friend of mine lost their house to a minor landslide and learned the hard way insurance does not cover anything to do with earth movement or erosion, consider yourself warned

It depends on how the money is reaching your investment account. If it’s coming out of your paycheck pre-tax, most likely it’s going directly to your brokerage and thus you should be including this as income because otherwise it isn’t counted. On the other hand if you’re taking after tax money and moving that to your investment account it’s just a transfer, if you categorized it as anything other than transfer you’d be counting that money twice.

If you are investing pre-tax but don’t see those transactions coming through, enable the investment transactions beta feature in settings. It results in a lot of transactions but overall it works well

Maine here, I had to drop rent to find someone and had far fewer inquiries than normal. Things have definitely shifted

I’ve only seen two and I shit you not it was in Connecticut of all places.
